ISOBEL JONES was named the first-ever general counsel for natural and organic food company Annie’s Inc. at the beginning of April. The position with the Berkeley-based corporation is Jones’s third in-house job with a food and beverage company. "I really enjoy being part of a company that everyone can relate to," she says. "There’s something very tangible about food companies. We feed people. We’re part of their daily lives." And they have a logo with a bunny in it.
Jones graduated from Harvard University in 1989 with an East Asian studies major and a minor in economics. She had already been accepted to the university’s law school during her senior year, but decided to interrupt her studies and spend a year working for a law firm in Japan. "I wanted to step back and think about what I was doing," says Jones. By the time she entered Harvard Law, she was certain she wanted to be a corporate lawyer.
